- Update 1.2 - April 13th - 13 April 2025
Greetings Riders, This update adds stat tracking during the runs and also brings changes to the some of the UI elements, and the endless mode. More specifically: -Some elements of the UI like the resource numbers are now smaller to take less space on the river. The Ulti bar is also moved near the elements to avoid clicking it by mistake when trying to gather the resources in front. -When the game is paused you will now be able to see your stats in a panel as shown below. On the bottom of the panel you will see "Weapon Output" and "Total Damage". Weapon output counts all the damage the weapon does, even if it's not inflicted to an enemy, meaning that if your shot does 10 damage and the enemy has 5 hp, 10 damage is added to Weapon Output. This is so you can compare different weapons and builds more accurately. Total damage counts all the damage that any enemy has taken, from all sources.…

- Patch #4 - 29 March 2025
Greetings Riders, Another little patch just dropped. Fixes -Reworked some aspects of the gathering mode, the bug where you couldn't gather unless switching to manual aiming and then back to gathering should now be fixed. If you notice any other weird behavior let me know -Fish, butterflies, bubbles, x mark and branches now all have bigger areas to interact with -Fixed a bug with some achievements not triggering when reaching the Outpost -Set a small delay for the talents before they are pickable, to prevent random clicks picking a talent -10% more orbs from score and kills when the run ends -Reduced the slow % on bosses -Fixed a bug with the Shovel Fighter upgrade that it wouln't damage some enemies -Slightly increased all weapons hitboxes I have seen some feedback about the Hawk talent being useless. I find it a risky pick that might not bring much value in early game since it hits ver…
- State of the Game and the Road Ahead - 27 March 2025
Greetings Riders, In this post i will try to briefly share my thoughts about the current state of the game, as well as what's coming next. THE RELEASE The release of the game was fantastic. As a first time developer i couldn't imagine how awesome it would feel to share my work with the players and i can easily say that the results exceeded my expectations. The steam store page got a ton of visibility and the game a bunch of brave riders ready to march for the sake of the Outpost! And i couldn't be more glad about this. THE BUGS Being honest, the game came with some nasty bugs for you. The reasons behind this are mainly two: 1) Me thinking that the game was in a stable, ready for release state. 2) Lack of thorough testing by many people before the release. In the past few days i did my best to quickly patch all the bugs that were causing crashes or the runs to end in awkward ways. And i…
- Patch #3 - 27th March - 26 March 2025
Greetings Riders, Another little patch that fixes some major bugs. Fixes - Bug that was causing crashes when the bomb carrier bird was letting the bomb drop. - 2 Bugs with the 2nd and 3rd mini bosses that were turning the bosses invisible, making it impossible to continue the run. - Bug regarding the tentacle not submerging at the end of the stage. - Bug that was causing the upgrades in main menu panel not to register, if the button was pressed fast many times. - After yesterday's patch the rangers' aiming was a bit off. This is now fixed. - Fixed some translations. Thanks for all the bug reporting. More changes are on the way! Solenya
- Patch Notes - 26th March - 25 March 2025
Greetings Riders, Some fixes and changes based on your feedback (more coming soon) Changes - Rider and all rangers now aim at the closest enemies - Reduced the cost of wood for most early upgrades - Increased hawk's hitbox - Fixed a bug where the wheel spin would cost 50 instead of 25 - Reduced the chance for Hide skill - Increased hitbox for the small spider - Fixed some translations I am aware of all the bugs you have reported and will do my best to tackle them asap. Next patch will focus on fixing bugs that happen with the air talents and better optimization for the later stages of the endless mode. I created a new pinned topic in the community hub so please report any other bug you might have found in there! Solenya

- Big Demo Update! - 23 September 2024
Greetings Riders! Big update with many important changes! Here's a list with the most notable: NEW AREA BETWEEN STAGES After each stage you will find a little village with a festival going on. There you can use the resources you gathered to upgrade and also take part in various festival activities that will help you on your long journey! NEW UPGRADES TREE Now you can only upgrade in the smith building. The upgrades tree is completely reworked with many more options added! AUTOAIMING While in gathering mode, your rider now will aim and fire automatically instead of having to pre set the angle before changing modes. This makes the game easier and gives the player the opportunity to play more chill. But for those that prefer to aim manually, there's a multiplier bonus in score while in aiming mode! Also the projectile's trajectory line will always be visible when in aiming mode. LEADERBOAR…
